Here I am working on a large riverbed painting. It was a commission from an old friend who lives in Texas now. I don't think they have rivers like this in Texas. I'm not sure they have water in Texas. I digress.

Tom Wheeler is a northwest artist, and realist artist. He lives in Battle Ground WA, (Southwest WA), near Portland Oregon. Tom loves to paint landscapes, nature scenes, people, and water. Rivers and rocky riverbeds feature prominently in his art. He also enjoys painting the northwest coast. In his work he tries to achieve a loose painterly style at times, and at other times he shows more control and rendering abilities. He paints in a realistic style.
